VORLON STAR DREADNAUGHT
One of the largest and most powerful vessels seen in the Vorlon navy, the "Star Dreadnought" was the predominant warship of the Vorlon Empire. This class of w arship appeared to possess firepower equal to or greater than a standard Shadow Battle Crab. Evidence suggests that the Star Dreadnought could destroy its Shadow counterpart with a single blast. Very much like their Shadow counterparts, Vorlon vessels are organic in nature and virtually unstoppable. Unlike Shadow vessels however, Vorlon ships do not use living entities, as the central processing unit of their ships, suggesting that Vorlon and Shadow biotechnology, while similar, is significantly different. Although the Vorlon's technology appears to be as advanced as the Shadows, it should be noted that in many instances Vorlon technology has the appearance of being less advanced. For instance, the Vorlons use a type of gravimetric/Hyperspace drive engine to propel their ships in real space, just like the Shadows. Vorlons also use some type of antimatter engines, a system of propulsion that the Shadows have completely abandoned. Vorlon organic technology seems also appears to be less advanced when compared to that of the Shadows, retaining the appearance of actually being constructed and not grown. It is hard to tell whether any and/or all of these technological paradoxes have any validity however. It is common knowledge that the Vorlons used a great deal of unneeded and, more often than not, obsolete technology simply to hide from younger races how advanced they really were. This also seems to lend strong credence to the analogy "Dont' forget what you already know." [Size taken from the B5 video game.] |
